Overview
How flying works here
National body: Letecká amatérska asociácia SR (LAA SR) (opens in a new tab)
Visiting pilots
- The IPPI card is recognised only at association level and does not by itself make flying in Slovak airspace legal.
- Pilots from outside the EU must have their licence recognised by the Transport Authority. Carry a liability insurance certificate on every flight.
A short summary, not legal advice. Rules change, so check the current requirements with Letecká amatérska asociácia SR (LAA SR) before you fly. Summary checked 13 Oct 2026.

- LAA SR issues pilot licences, under authority from the Transport Authority, after theory and practical exams.
